4/12 (GP): Holy Bull (Gr. III)

[Linny]

This race is no worse than when it was in January. It counts for graded earnings but the $90k to the winner means that the winner must already have about $100k to get into the Derby.

i couldn't disagree more.

1 1/16 in january/february was more meaningful than 1 3/16 2 weeks before the derby.

this is an ignoble tribute to the flamingo stakes.

I would love to play Nathan's Ridge, but I'm not sure if he'll be fit enough. Maybe if they had like 25 or 26 route races in him by now instead of a paltry 9, I'd be going to the window and betting with both fists.

Linny...

No worse than when it was in January (or February)???

Nobiz.. Barbaro.. Closing Argument (with High Fly third).. Second of June (with Silver Wagon second).. Offlee Wild (with Funny Cide 5th).. Booklet (with Harlan's Holiday second)..

This field is no worse than these last 6 runnings?
